Meet the Corporate Lobbyists Connected to Pierre Poilievre and his Inner-Circle

Geoff Dembicki from DeSmog is pulling back the curtain on the influence of corporate lobbyists on Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives

Who is lobbying Pierre Poilievre? An interactive map from DeSmog shines a light on the links between Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and various corporate lobbying interests and right-wing advocacy groups.

The map connects the dots between top figures in Poilievre’s Conservative party, including Poilievre’s top advisor Jenni Byrne and Campaign Chair John Baird, with big names like Elon Musk, Stephen Harper and Koch Industries — no wonder top Conservative Party officials voted down a resolution  that would ban lobbyists from seeking top positions in the party.

Journalist Geoff Dembicki from DeSmog joins PressProgress’ Alberta Reporter Stephen Magusiak on this episode of Sources to talk about his interactive map that pulls back the curtain on the lobbying connections inside Poilievre’s inner-circle.
